New roof snagging in Easthampstead: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey replacement roofs, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and people most frequently book us about untidy or loose verge details and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Smaller places like Easthampstead frequently have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you are buying in Easthampstead or checking a new roof there. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Easthampstead homes and their roofs
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For landlords with property near Bracknell station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Easthampstead questions
How do I find out if my home in Easthampstead is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Easthampstead?
Yes, Easthampstead is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How do I book a survey in Easthampstead?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Easthampstead
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof, useful for planning maintenance.
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Easthampstead, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Related advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are checked.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
We confirm the exact price before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Useful tips for Easthampstead property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Keep the contract and invoices together
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
